Textron Aviation launches three youth apprenticeship programs in Kansas
Textron Aviation has introduced three state‑recognized apprenticeship programs for youth in Kansas, with the first cohorts beginning this fall and a structured competence development period that can extend up to three years.1
The apprenticeships combine high‑school education with practical, on‑the‑job training, giving students industry knowledge and vocational skills while they work alongside experienced aviation professionals on the production floor, and are intended to strengthen the state’s aviation workforce by linking education directly to career pathways.1
